Answer to Question 1

A growing interest in exotic plants during the 17th century resulted in more funds directed toward
discovery and collections development by states and private individuals. Wealthy European nations
established imperial outposts in tropical regions thus allowing for new plant discoveries and freer flow
of exotic plants from native environments to the European continent. Plants showing economic
promise stemming from medical, culinary, or purely aesthetic purposes were cultured in display
gardens and buildings that offered protection during harsh weather.
